By a remarkable mountaineering feat, Miss Jean Howard, an English girl, has achieved the distinction of being the first woman to climb the Eiger (13,040 ft. by following a difficult route which few men have been able to take. Miss Howard accomplished the ascent in a two days’ climb. The route ■ followed was via Algiglen and the Mittellegi Hut on the Mittellegi Ridge. This route was climbed for the first time in 1920 by the Japanese, Yuko Maki.
